He is saying the 18% of the network that is protesting this default policy change- which will lead to increased spam in blocks- is not “manufactured” X-algo outrage. Pushing this narrative- that users should not take note, research and decide for themselves about their software choices- is compliance with the policy change. Or are you going to hide behind semantics?

He is saying that Xitter is amplifying dissent. Our monkey brains are wired to get anxious when the tribe is screaming in the trees, to figure out what's the threat and to jump at it ferociously and Xitter abuses this. Xitter wouldn't work if it wouldn't have us constantly paranoid about threats - fake or real.
